This is a remarkable build by Jim who works in the reinforced concrete high-rise business in Manhattan: as he says on My Hobbit Shed: "Transport yourself to the Shire for a moment and live a simple life." Here's the background to the build:

"I needed a place to put my lawn tractor and outdoor tools so I told my wife that I was going to build a shed. She said: “Fine.” Then I thought it would be pretty cool if the shed was built like a Hobbit house. When I told my wife I think she said: “You’re crazy.” Soon thereafter I began this project."

It took Jim nearly five years from start to finish but the result is truly remarkable: you can see plenty of construction photos here. Well worth exploring.
